Re: Shiro Kamo R2, 240mm
I was thinking about purchasing some of this steel, so it would be cool to check out what a master has done with it. Id like in if you still have room.

Re: Shiro Kamo R2, 240mm
The knife arrived today in good order. I have it a quick go on the stones and had to go to a lower grit than I expected. This steel is tough stuff. I like the profile alot and am looking forward to cutting with this one.
Re: Shiro Kamo R2, 240mm
Glad it got there safe. Those plastic guards are a little tricky. Twice i received knifes that had the tip peaking out of the guard, but fortunately neither were tipped

Re: Shiro Kamo R2, 240mm

Re: Shiro Kamo R2, 240mm
I aleady gave George's knife a long look, but I am on a buying hiatus for the moment. I don't have anything in R2 at the moment, though it looks like Kamo makes his AS gyutos with a similar profile and grind of course ...

Re: Shiro Kamo R2, 240mm
Using the Kamo, I had an "aha" moment. There is no such thing as a perfect knife!
What I actually mean is not what one might think, though.
This is a superb knife. More after I review ...

I am done with this wonderful knife. I'll be shipping out Sunday or Monday. Review later this week. Thanks again to the generosity of Nick. I have to get me a Kamo. While I love the R2, I'll probably go for one of his other knives.
